Orangutan launches possum out of enclosure at zoo — as horrified visitors scream

Orangutan launches possum out of enclosure at zoo — as horrified visitors scream

An orangutan at an Australian zoo horrified visitors when it brutally evicted a possum by ”launching” it from the top of its enclosure after the wily pest had invaded its space.
